[He had the attention of the clone now, he could see that. It wouldn't do any good to tell him all of what he knew. What could one clone commander do to influence the outcome of the war? But perhaps he could use this as an opportunity to find a way to start plotting his escape from his imprisonment.]

A single person with many, many minions. He's started planning for the end. Don't you find it odd both of the Separatist leaders ended up dead so soon one after the other?

[He'd heard talk while being held captive that Count Dooku and General Grievous were both dead. Sidious was making sure there would be no one left to be able to be traced back to him. That was why Maul knew his days were numbered if he didn't escape soon.]

He's positioned himself in such a way that no matter who wins or loses in the war, he will be the one to gain everything in the end. There will be no Republic. No Separatists. Only one Empire for him to rule over.
